Wyvern

Wyverns are dragon-like creatures important to the culture of Yithare.

Wyverns are used as mounts by the Tariq of Yithare, though are feared and hunted by the people of Qatarra.

Appearance
An adult Wyvern is about the size of a rhinoceros. Their bodies are more muscular in build with stout and squarish heads, split-mandible mouths and protruding fins.

Wyvern wings are hardy but imprecise things. A wyvern does not truly fly, but glides. With a suitable perch and favorable winds, a wyvern can glide over many miles, stalking prey and surveying its territory. With their strong claws they can grip and climb even vertical stone to achieve good perches and altitude. A wyvern can also leap many times its own body length.
